Individuals with a highly relational self - construal define the self in terms of their close relationships with others. Consequently, they seek to nurture and develop new relationships. These studies examine individual differences in the self - construal in the context of a new roommate relationship, with a focus on cognitive aspects of relationship development. Study 1 revealed that persons with a highly relational self - construal were better able than others to predict a new roommate’s values and beliefs. Study 2 showed that highly relational individuals tended to think optimistically about a new roommate’s feelings about the relationship. The relational self - construal was more strongly related to these measures of relationship cognition in distant relationships than in very close relationships. Participants’ self - construals and their perceptions of the closeness of the roommate relationship interacted in predicting well - being, revealing an unexpected negative relation between closeness and well - being for participants with a low relational self - construal.
